Biography
Vykintas was a Samogitian nobleman, and he fought against the Teutonic Order. In 1248, when Vykintas, Tautvilas, and Edivydas failed in a campaign against Smolensk, a civil war broke out between Vykintas and King Mindaugas, and Vykintas became his chief rival.

Based in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania's southern lands, he was besieged in the city of Minsk in 1279 and was killed by the Novgorodian army.
